As Colbert does his best to figure out how Lochte could have gotten so darn confused about the events of that night — which included Lochte and teammates Jack Conger, Gunnar Bentz and Jimmy Feigen vandalizing a Rio gas station — Colbert can only seem to get one explanation from him.

"I was intoxicated," says Lochte.

And what about three days later, when Lochte kept up the ruse?

"I was still intoxicated."

Colbert continues his line of questioning, conducting a rudimentary sobriety test on the virtual Lochte and checking to see if he can identify a real firearm. But all bets were off.

"Describe for me, describe for the audience, the Ryan Lochte we can expect to see at the Olympics in Tokyo in 2020," asks Colbert.
